Thanks for the speedy replies, guys. I have it working now. For me the
issue was the product of (1) using a relative path, and (2) using the

Thank you Even, my issue was the full path requirement. I will document
this now.
Below is my working layer (with MS4W 3.1.4 / MapServer 7.0.1) :
LAYER
NAME "testzip"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS ON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "/vsizip/D:/ms4w/apps/test/test.zip"
DATA "test"
CLASS
NAME "test"
STYLE
COLOR 240 240 240
OUTLINECOLOR 199 199 199
END
END
END # layer
